This is a fan edit of a song that i wish was longer because i enjoyed it so much :) All credit goes to Bo #inside #Boburnham #bo #burnham #Lookwhosinsideagain #goodbye #tiktok
as someone who's extremely introverted, has become more introverted during the pandemic, gets pretty anxious at seemingly normal things when i'm outside, and has dealt with dissociation, bo's inside really made me feel extremely seen, especially with look who's inside again, goodbye and funny feeling
As an adult, I make little sounds to myself all the time and it is 100% due to be lonely as a kid. I'm funny and quick witted and so much of it is due to having to entertain myself constantly. I'm also good at reading people because of having to know my abusive parent's emotional state all the time and navigating it. Great talents, terrible origin story.
i'm an extreme extrovert w/ social anxiety who went fucking insane during the pandemic, and it was like bo was straight up narrating my past year. we have more in common than we realize i think :)
This chorus is just so perfect I almost wish the song was like 6 min long Edit: coming back to this song again and realizing how many likes I have is odd. But I'm glad many people share my same opinion. I wish the original was just more made and extended. Thanks for the support.
“Well well look who’s inside again” the line gives me such a visceral reaction. It’s just like when my mind mocks me for being depressed again. It says, “you thought you’d get out? You thought you could get better? Well well, look who’s inside again.” And it fills me with dread. Because even if I get so much better that I don’t have an episode for many years, as soon as I hit a rough patch I’ll hear that taunt again. What incredible lyrics
Yeah and then it sounds to me like he ended up going out “to find a reason to hide again” and ended up doing something pretty bad and illegal and hence the “looks like you found it, come out we got you surrounded” 😂
I get you. It's stuck in my head since the first time I heard it. So many times that specific part kept coming back to me. Like a very twisted earworm.
"Went out to look for a reason to hide again" just hits differently. We seek change, but in reality all humans just want to stay in a safe place. We will find the smallest reasons to stick to what we know and feel comfortable with. This doesn't just go for anxiety or depression, this is literally every human act. We need something to fear or hate just so we can continue feeling the same way again and again
I was diagnosed w agoraphobia during the pandemic and I’ve had this song just playing over and over in my head since I heard it, I wish there was a 10 hour version somewhere 😭
@@iwanna_xry Agoraphobia is a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn't be available if things go wrong. Many people assume agoraphobia is simply a fear of open spaces, but it's actually a more complex condition. (This is the Wikipedia definition of it lol)
The line "went out to look for a reason to hide again" really hits me hard. Any level of social anxiety, especially mixed with any level of depression or low self-esteem, keeps you convinced that things won't work for you. Even when you try to be hopeful and get out there, your mind latches onto the smallest reasons to tell you you're not cut out for making friends, that you're better off inside.
I think it's deliberate that he included several 'unfinished' seeming songs and very abrupt endings because he wasn't always in the mental space to find proper resolutions.
Just to think that Bo directed, edited, starred and composed absolutely everything to do with this special is just amazing to me. Like he spent all that time writing the special, composing the music in the special, filming it and then editing it all for the pleasure of the viewers is honestly beautiful. Bo is an inspiration to me not gonna lie.

as a person with depression, this makes me very emotinal, the latest 2 weeks my depression has gone worse and made me pretty suicidal, ive listend to bo burnhams music since 2016, i know its not much but his songs comforts me, this song just hits diffrent, i can't explain it. And this mixed with the ending of goodbye, hits REALLY diffrent, tysm for this master piece
Music can make a world of a difference music has helped me my whole life, let it do its thing enjoy it 💖and i hope you feel better 💖 and stay to see what happens in your life and experience joy okay im done now i know its hard i wish u the best
There are a lot of lines in this song that hit hard but "You're really joking at a time like this?" is one of the worst since I have a habit of not being able to talk about my depression or even my suicidal thoughts or my attempt without joking about it I don't know why I do it .I just know that it often deeply upset people but I just can't talk sincerely about my feelings
I have the same thing. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I don't want them to feel bad about it or maybe because it makes it so much more real and painful when you actually put it into words. Joking about it makes it feel less relevant which feels a lot better than having to actually face it. Involving others makes it so much harder to run away from it. But I know from myself I won't do anything for myself but a lot for others. Even though involving them is very scary and tiring and I REALLY don't want to, it might be the best way to move forward eventually. I am not quite ready to make that commitment just yet though.
Hey man, you’re feelings are valid and hope that you have someone in your life that will take what you have to say to heart, it’s not an easy thing to go through, feeling like you can’t tell anyone these things, but trust me when I say this there are so many more people that care about than you think. Stay strong and find your happiness, it’ll take time but in the end it will be so much better when your still here.

@@liampezzano Thanks for the correction, And I’m from U.S so we spell the D word as “Dammit” not “Damn it” because we are used to the that spelling, because it just looks right.
I have social anxiety... am extremely introverted, I talk to myself and funny enough, I am my own comedian, but no one’s ever there to hear it since I have never shown my real self to people around me, because of my social anxiety Even with my family, though this song song isn’t referring to that, it makes me cry every time how much it seems I relate. Thanks Bo.
Love the metaphor Bo creates with the, "When you're a kid and you're stuck in your room" part. Specifically the line, "You'll do any old sh*t to get out of it." On the surface it's just saying that when you're sent to your room as a kid you're gonna try anything to get out of being grounded. But when you associate the metaphor of being stuck in your room being falling into a relapse or some sort of depression, you realize he's saying that when you're a kid, you're irresponsible enough to do anything to make you feel better, like drinking, or doing drugs.
I also think it's about him in the early days of his career, look at his earliest youtube vids, he's literally a kid stuck in his room doing 'any old shit' I.e comedy songs
Bo’s songs has the ability to unlock some childhood memories that you didn’t know it was trauma and you realized it’s been with you all this time now that you’re in your 20’s-30’s
As a kid whos stuck in his room because of circumstance that wants to become a comedian this speaks to me extremely hard because i can feel his pain of being stuck where you cant stand being but cant leave because theres nowhere to go so you just sink yourself deeper and deeper into your pit of despair and monotony looking for something anything to do
The first time I listened to this my eyes started pouring out of nowhere. Hadn’t cried in a really long time. It took me back to my childhood trying to entertain everyone even tho I was a really lonely kid… a lot of Bo songs are emotional but this one struck all the right chords with me. I’ll prolly never forget hearing this for the first time
Does anyone else feel like his whole “concert” has a wayyyyy deeper meaning like he’s trying to get people to open their eyes to? Get ya thinking? Or am I just looking way to into it? I personally think this has way more meaning than just his personal life.
I think one of the things it represents is the end of humanity. Some songs reference climate change directly in an extremely unflinching manner, and That Funny Feeling has the line “20,000 years of this, seven more to go“ gives the impression that Bo thinks nukes may be involved. Also, at the requiem finishing Goodbye, the spotlight surprising him also reveals him naked instantly. The lucky few in the unthinkable would be similarly blinded by light and stripped naked by the thermal pulse from detonation.
BO has convinced me i must engage with the talents i have, after ive seen what it can do im so inspired. Also reminded me what its about as an artist im so grateful for him
I come here when I'm sad, and I'm sure many others do too. You don't know me, but if you're reading this, listening in a dark room, curled under the covers, or just vibing to the slowness, I want you to know I am too. Whatever has led you to sadness, surely it won't last long. While there may be alot of bad, the good will be here soon enough. But for now, do what you can to bring on the happy. Even for a little time. You're okay, and I love you ❤
This song reminds me of my depression and alcoholism. I am a ritualistic alcoholic who binge drinks late at night. I always try to break the habit, and sometimes for months at a time, I do. Then something hits my brain and I get depressed, regress, and wind up wasted again at 2AM. All i'm doing is going out to look for a reason to go back to the same rhythm.
Trying to be funny and stuck in a room There isn't much more to say about it Can one be funny when stuck in a room? Being in, trying to get something out of it … Try making faces Try telling jokes, making little sounds (Oh!) … I was a kid who was stuck in his room There isn't much more to say about it When you're a kid and you're stuck in your room You'll do any old shit to get out of it … Try making faces Try telling jokes, making little sounds … Well, well Look who's inside again Went out to look for a reason to hide again Well, well Buddy, you found it Now, come out with your hands up We've got you surrounded
This song makes me so sad because troughout my entire life ive always stayed inside if doing that was an option and ive always tried to stay as comedic and appealing to people as possible and like. it makes me wanna fuckin cry but also im like ’’no thoughts only cool chorus’’
This hits hard for me haha I went 80% of my life living with physically and emotionally abusive family. My only escape was being wacky and annoying in school, online, or with friends. No friends allowed to come over, no passes to visit or travel, no contact with those close to you. Man what the fuck dude.
The songs about being a kid who's parents reject him and every time he comes out of his room he finds reasons to hide again. he try being funny and goofy because conflict is all he knows but the symbolic aspect is that he gets old and is surrounded and has to surrender
I've never heard any piece of media describe what i've struggled with for years like this special, and specifically this song. I know we're all familiar with the feeling: being stuck inside, wanting to do something but somehow being unable to, living in your head and limiting your interaction with the world to the internet. Yet somehow it seems no one acknowledges it. It's something somewhat specific to our generation i suppose.
As a kid who was stuck in her room, coming from a mom who was stuck in her room, with a son who is stuck in his room, it makes you wonder what room even means. On another note "when I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it call me up and tell me a joke." Hit hard. I was introduced to inside by "30" on my 30th birthday, ready to kill myself that week. When you're scared to be seen, and it's all you ever wanted, cause in being seen is looking and in there lies connection. Hard to change in a world that's adjusted to an illness, even encouraged it. With little screens and the world in your hands.
I can see this interpreted as both a physical room and a metaphorical room. Personally I resonate with the latter because I feel like I'm stuck in a metaphorical room at the moment. My depression has been getting worse and worse and I'm not taking care of myself. And I cope with laughter and telling jokes like Bo mentions. Ugh this whole special is just so beautiful
for the first time in so long, i was happy. i grew up homeschooled. the emptiness i felt.. it’s indescribable. a cave inside of my heart where friends should be. i grew up with no friends beyond the few that i made at art class that forgot about me. i was bullied incessantly; a suicidal 6-8 year old. my only friends were npcs on video games. i cried every night. i gained friends, i lost them, they hated me and ruined my life. it happened so many times that it eventually became routine; find friends, confide in them, disagree with them over something, and eventually be exiled from the group and made into the laughing stock no matter what i do. when i was 14 i started going to school. i was 16 before the pandemic began. i was so happy. i had a girlfriend, i had friends. i was in groups i felt so comfortable in! i was absolutely ecstatic. the pit i felt growing up was finally filled… people liked me. then the pandemic began. the lonlieness began to creep back in.. i was a kid stuck in a room again. i wasn’t allowed to go outside. but it was okay! people online still loved me, my friends from school still spoke to me often. everything was still okay. winter of that year i have a manic episode for the first time. i latch onto someone, i isolate myself from everyone besides them. i become too much for anyone else to handle and they leave me. and then everyone else leaves. and then i’m the laughing stock again. the cycle keeps repeating. how many more times until i can stay outside?
Well well helo, i've never met anybody else who was suicidal at 6 years old. Sad highfive on that one. Learning about CPTSD has really helped me heal some of my wounds, especially Pete Walker an his books on complex trauma. I wish you all the best.
The lyrics talking about him being stuck in a room as a kid reminds me of the very first year of my life. I got something like blood cancer and was constantly stuck in hospital with tubes everywhere, everything hurt and my mouth and throat were all bloody from the chemotherapy. It hits me even more, because at that time I was still happier than I am now (depression). I would give anything to be stuck in hospital again, because that meant I didn’t have to get yelled at or hit by my parents.
This song makes me so sad and comforted at the same time, I've never been a social person (I was mute till age 7) and I spend all day in my room. Whenever I try to leave I always feel like an outsider like the "try telling jokes with little sounds" I always tried to find a way to bond with someone and they always failed so I stay inside my room as some kind of safety net away from the world
I remember 2020, I'd spend hours crying to this in my bed. It did help me realize that the joke I made were a way to make me feel better about loosing all my friends.
(cw: discussion of abuse) the songs i've heard so far from inside speak to me heavily as someone who spent the first several months of the pandemic in a friend group that was bordering on abusive. i constantly felt as though i was being laughed at or mocked and like i was left out at every opportunity. "all eyes on me," for instance, speaks to me because i felt like i was always being watched by an audience, like people were using my pain as entertainment; and this song, it reminds me of how i let it happen because i was desperate for human connection when i couldn't get any, due to living in a very rural area in the middle of a pandemic which forced isolation. on top of that, my parents had just announced their divorce (i'm a teenager, living at home), so i was already seriously struggling; these people came to me during a hard time and gave me a constant to rely on, even though it was severely damaging to my mental health. i was stuck in my room, and i was desperate to do something with my life. i would seriously do anything just to get out of it. (i did.) thank you to bo burnham for putting so many feelings, of so many people, into words. for producing beautiful music and sharing your struggles.
@@jonah9916 aw thank you, i appreciate that! i'm definitely doing better and i learned from the experience, i know now how to identify these behaviour patterns and protect myself from these kinds of people. things are usually rough of course but overall i'm proud of myself for developing into a stronger and more self-reliant person :) and how are you?
The lyrics are so genius! "I feel trapped and I wanna go out. But I know it won't end well, the outside-world'll hit me so hard and I wanna go back inside my horrible, save prison that'll kill me slowly." - I can relate to that so well! And the end hits me even harder: "come out with your hands up, we got you surrounded" - All he ever wanted, to go out, but is forced, is dragged out by them (Society? Friends/Family? Audience? by himself?), outside to this horrible, crucial world, naked and defensless with all eyes on him...
Spent the last 6+ years of my life in bed due to sudden, intense chronic illness(es) that left me disabled with persistent harrowing pain and widespread muscle atrophy. Can hardly walk anymore. And wouldn’t you know, around year 5 of this, I finally started making some headway on my own. I really did! This coming after finally accepting that my physicians wouldn’t do anything more for me because they couldn’t agree on any singular all-inclusive diagnosis (and presumably feared any future malpractice suits). Begged for at least a physical therapy referral around December of 2019. Finally got it. I would get up, get dressed, and go see my physical therapist twice a week. This was massive for me. Physically, but also emotionally. I was slowly, but finally, getting back into the world, after half a decade of isolation. Then, the _funniest thing_ happened. 🎶 Well, well. Guess who’s -inside- in bed again. 🎶
It could have been an excellent edit. They added the end of the song "Goodbye" at the end, but the first bit was messed with. It skips to the "Well, well, look who's inside again" bit without him saying he was stuck in his room as a kid. It then plays to the end of that bit, then goes back to the skipped segment when he said he was a kid in his room and plays to the end. I'm a crazy person.
This is me. Grew up introverted. Started being outgoing as a I got older but got hurt so bad by ppl... now back inside again on my own and cut off everyone
for some reason, this song gave me more of a voice, and this song helps me deal with stress of my mom calling me a girl cuz she thinks im confused, but im so sure of who i am
Hell yeah... Do you know there is a link between being neurodivergent and being gender divergent? I am both... This song more literally describes the neurodivergent part, but in doing so it also eerily reflects my experience as a genderfluid trans man... beautiful and empowering song for speaking who we have always been
I find it funny that people talk about the pandemic here and I'm just thinking about the times that I refused to leave the house for weeks, months, one time over a year... It never really seems like it's that bad, until someone reminds me that it is. I'm just a traumatized ex-child, who pretended to be someone he's not for two decades, before he just snapped and developed an anxiety disorder so potent it kept me inside for 15 months. by now, I take walks at least every few days, but I'm still sick and have a long way to go... This song feels like that part of me that is scared I'll do it again, every time I feel like it's going nowhere... It's horrible. I love it.
His songs just hit me a certain way

@@liampezzano Thanks for the correction, And I’m from U.S so we spell the D word as “Dammit” not “Damn it” because we are used to the that spelling, because it just looks right.
@@John_Dory_The_Leader I'm from New Jersey dude. Nobody has to agree on how to spell "cuss" (curse) words.
I cant explain it but I just absolutely love his voice during the goodbye part of this song
I have social anxiety... am extremely introverted, I talk to myself and funny enough, I am my own comedian, but no one’s ever there to hear it since I have never shown my real self to people around me, because of my social anxiety Even with my family, though this song song isn’t referring to that, it makes me cry every time how much it seems I relate.
Thanks Bo.
everythings going to be okay honey
i feel you man :/
i relate. hope you're doing alright
the way the song distorts at the end, gives me chills
I’ve never not stopped a song like i did this one. I just keep repeating it omg. It’s too good, it’s fricking addictive
True! Im actually seeing the special for the first time Saturday 😊
Love the metaphor Bo creates with the, "When you're a kid and you're stuck in your room" part. Specifically the line, "You'll do any old sh*t to get out of it."
On the surface it's just saying that when you're sent to your room as a kid you're gonna try anything to get out of being grounded.
But when you associate the metaphor of being stuck in your room being falling into a relapse or some sort of depression, you realize he's saying that when you're a kid, you're irresponsible enough to do anything to make you feel better, like drinking, or doing drugs.
I also think it's about him in the early days of his career, look at his earliest youtube vids, he's literally a kid stuck in his room doing 'any old shit' I.e comedy songs
Bo’s songs has the ability to unlock some childhood memories that you didn’t know it was trauma and you realized it’s been with you all this time now that you’re in your 20’s-30’s
this is exactly what i was looking for THANK YOU
I didn't pay much attention to this song at first, but I swear, after I heard that verse in Goodbye, this song feels so, so much more personal.
He is so amazing. I cried with him when he was really crying. So relatable. Glad he has Lorene!
This song just hits me like a ton of bricks :D but thank you for making it longer
The key tone & change song is something I will listen to on repeat for eternity
As a kid whos stuck in his room because of circumstance that wants to become a comedian this speaks to me extremely hard because i can feel his pain of being stuck where you cant stand being but cant leave because theres nowhere to go so you just sink yourself deeper and deeper into your pit of despair and monotony looking for something anything to do
how are you 9 months later?
This song just- it’s inexplicable. For some reason it reminds of the quite place or like some sort of apocalyptic situation.
The first time I listened to this my eyes started pouring out of nowhere. Hadn’t cried in a really long time. It took me back to my childhood trying to entertain everyone even tho I was a really lonely kid… a lot of Bo songs are emotional but this one struck all the right chords with me. I’ll prolly never forget hearing this for the first time
Love how the melody is such a vibe and the lyrics will hit you like a train
Does anyone else feel like his whole “concert” has a wayyyyy deeper meaning like he’s trying to get people to open their eyes to? Get ya thinking? Or am I just looking way to into it? I personally think this has way more meaning than just his personal life.
Oh yeah. Absolutely.
I think one of the things it represents is the end of humanity. Some songs reference climate change directly in an extremely unflinching manner, and That Funny Feeling has the line “20,000 years of this, seven more to go“ gives the impression that Bo thinks nukes may be involved. Also, at the requiem finishing Goodbye, the spotlight surprising him also reveals him naked instantly. The lucky few in the unthinkable would be similarly blinded by light and stripped naked by the thermal pulse from detonation.
This has got to be the most upbeat sounding song that always makes me feel depressed
This is one of those songs that is like a perfect song, but then they just stop it. It’s fantastic but it’s so short. Thanks for making this
BO has convinced me i must engage with the talents i have, after ive seen what it can do im so inspired. Also reminded me what its about as an artist im so grateful for him
I come here when I'm sad, and I'm sure many others do too. You don't know me, but if you're reading this, listening in a dark room, curled under the covers, or just vibing to the slowness, I want you to know I am too. Whatever has led you to sadness, surely it won't last long. While there may be alot of bad, the good will be here soon enough. But for now, do what you can to bring on the happy. Even for a little time. You're okay, and I love you ❤
Thanks homie, appreciate it. You as well 🙏 😁🤙🏼
dude... this just made me tear up,i hope your ok yourself
Same
This song reminds me of my depression and alcoholism. I am a ritualistic alcoholic who binge drinks late at night. I always try to break the habit, and sometimes for months at a time, I do. Then something hits my brain and I get depressed, regress, and wind up wasted again at 2AM. All i'm doing is going out to look for a reason to go back to the same rhythm.
I'm right there with you, man. Let's do our best to not give up on ourselves, yeah?
IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW LIKE THE UHHH LONG VERSION NAME ITS CALLED GOODBYE I RECOMMEND IT SLOWED TOO
I agree 100 percent!!
Cheers to this song getting me to confront my years worth of vented feelings- just was able to fit me like a glove.
Trying to be funny and stuck in a room
There isn't much more to say about it
Can one be funny when stuck in a room?
Being in, trying to get something out of it
… Try making faces
Try telling jokes, making little sounds
(Oh!)
… I was a kid who was stuck in his room
There isn't much more to say about it
When you're a kid and you're stuck in your room
You'll do any old shit to get out of it
… Try making faces
Try telling jokes, making little sounds
… Well, well
Look who's inside again
Went out to look for a reason to hide again
Well, well
Buddy, you found it
Now, come out with your hands up
We've got you surrounded
Why does it make me sad?
This song makes me so sad because troughout my entire life ive always stayed inside if doing that was an option and ive always tried to stay as comedic and appealing to people as possible and like. it makes me wanna fuckin cry but also im like ’’no thoughts only cool chorus’’
This hits hard for me haha
I went 80% of my life living with physically and emotionally abusive family. My only escape was being wacky and annoying in school, online, or with friends. No friends allowed to come over, no passes to visit or travel, no contact with those close to you.
Man what the fuck dude.
i hope your doin ok rn : >
ik this is late, but from one charlotte to another, i love u and hope u found new and better family
The songs about being a kid who's parents reject him and every time he comes out of his room he finds reasons to hide again. he try being funny and goofy because conflict is all he knows but the symbolic aspect is that he gets old and is surrounded and has to surrender
there isn't much more to say about it right ....???
Everytime I listen to this my mind plays out me giving a performance/lashing out on my intrusive thoughts
he makes such great music i just wish it was longer yk:(
Loop feature
I've never heard any piece of media describe what i've struggled with for years like this special, and specifically this song. I know we're all familiar with the feeling: being stuck inside, wanting to do something but somehow being unable to, living in your head and limiting your interaction with the world to the internet. Yet somehow it seems no one acknowledges it. It's something somewhat specific to our generation i suppose.
Thanks for making this. Good mix of the two different versions.
Thanks for your effort: perfect for my playlist xoxo
This song is so nostalgic and it's not even that old
0:26 when he said uahahuu i felt that
can I just listen to the chorus like 100× over and over?? I can't get enough
There’s a loop feature on CZcams :)
the first time that i hear some kind of full version, thank you i’m a big fan of bo nice remix
As a kid who was stuck in her room, coming from a mom who was stuck in her room, with a son who is stuck in his room, it makes you wonder what room even means.
On another note "when I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it call me up and tell me a joke." Hit hard.
I was introduced to inside by "30" on my 30th birthday, ready to kill myself that week.
When you're scared to be seen, and it's all you ever wanted, cause in being seen is looking and in there lies connection.
Hard to change in a world that's adjusted to an illness, even encouraged it. With little screens and the world in your hands.
Also, the way he sings "when I'm fully irrelevant" totally subverts the phrase "fully erect" - which is hillarious.
Im proud od you
All of his songs are so relatable and make me feel like I’m not alone
It hits different when you spent your whole life seeking validation threw laughter
2:00 hits hard
Brings me back to being a depressed and anxious kid spending a lot of time in my room alone listening to bo
I can see this interpreted as both a physical room and a metaphorical room. Personally I resonate with the latter because I feel like I'm stuck in a metaphorical room at the moment. My depression has been getting worse and worse and I'm not taking care of myself. And I cope with laughter and telling jokes like Bo mentions. Ugh this whole special is just so beautiful
Interesting edit, I think your timing is as on as it could be.
It was genius of you to split up the only verse and turn it into 2 verses so there can be 2 choruses plus that part from goodbye. Good job
this is everything, ive always wished this song was longer its easily my fav
THANKS!!! ✨🌺
This was actually my favorite song from Inside.
for the first time in so long, i was happy. i grew up homeschooled. the emptiness i felt.. it’s indescribable. a cave inside of my heart where friends should be. i grew up with no friends beyond the few that i made at art class that forgot about me. i was bullied incessantly; a suicidal 6-8 year old. my only friends were npcs on video games. i cried every night. i gained friends, i lost them, they hated me and ruined my life. it happened so many times that it eventually became routine; find friends, confide in them, disagree with them over something, and eventually be exiled from the group and made into the laughing stock no matter what i do. when i was 14 i started going to school. i was 16 before the pandemic began. i was so happy. i had a girlfriend, i had friends. i was in groups i felt so comfortable in! i was absolutely ecstatic. the pit i felt growing up was finally filled… people liked me. then the pandemic began. the lonlieness began to creep back in.. i was a kid stuck in a room again. i wasn’t allowed to go outside. but it was okay! people online still loved me, my friends from school still spoke to me often. everything was still okay. winter of that year i have a manic episode for the first time. i latch onto someone, i isolate myself from everyone besides them. i become too much for anyone else to handle and they leave me. and then everyone else leaves. and then i’m the laughing stock again.
the cycle keeps repeating.
how many more times until i can stay outside?
Well well helo, i've never met anybody else who was suicidal at 6 years old. Sad highfive on that one. Learning about CPTSD has really helped me heal some of my wounds, especially Pete Walker an his books on complex trauma. I wish you all the best.
The lyrics talking about him being stuck in a room as a kid reminds me of the very first year of my life. I got something like blood cancer and was constantly stuck in hospital with tubes everywhere, everything hurt and my mouth and throat were all bloody from the chemotherapy. It hits me even more, because at that time I was still happier than I am now (depression).
I would give anything to be stuck in hospital again, because that meant I didn’t have to get yelled at or hit by my parents.
This is so good, thank youu
This song makes me so sad and comforted at the same time, I've never been a social person (I was mute till age 7) and I spend all day in my room. Whenever I try to leave I always feel like an outsider like the "try telling jokes with little sounds" I always tried to find a way to bond with someone and they always failed so I stay inside my room as some kind of safety net away from the world
this just gives me the chills :)
all my 4 kids love him, I notice Bo only after Netflix Inside .. was crying my eyes out :( much love and keep going!
This was probably my favorite song of the show.
This is all I get recommended now because I listened to it like 1000000 times
I remember 2020, I'd spend hours crying to this in my bed. It did help me realize that the joke I made were a way to make me feel better about loosing all my friends.
Bo is such a beautiful man, inside and out.
(cw: discussion of abuse)
the songs i've heard so far from inside speak to me heavily as someone who spent the first several months of the pandemic in a friend group that was bordering on abusive. i constantly felt as though i was being laughed at or mocked and like i was left out at every opportunity.
"all eyes on me," for instance, speaks to me because i felt like i was always being watched by an audience, like people were using my pain as entertainment; and this song, it reminds me of how i let it happen because i was desperate for human connection when i couldn't get any, due to living in a very rural area in the middle of a pandemic which forced isolation.
on top of that, my parents had just announced their divorce (i'm a teenager, living at home), so i was already seriously struggling; these people came to me during a hard time and gave me a constant to rely on, even though it was severely damaging to my mental health.
i was stuck in my room, and i was desperate to do something with my life. i would seriously do anything just to get out of it. (i did.) thank you to bo burnham for putting so many feelings, of so many people, into words. for producing beautiful music and sharing your struggles.
hey ik it’s been a long time since you posted this but are you doing ok?
@@jonah9916 aw thank you, i appreciate that! i'm definitely doing better and i learned from the experience, i know now how to identify these behaviour patterns and protect myself from these kinds of people. things are usually rough of course but overall i'm proud of myself for developing into a stronger and more self-reliant person :) and how are you?
Whenever I do something bad, I always shame myself for it. .
This is a great production of my favorite song on the special. Well done. It's the definitive way it should be heard. Kudos
The lyrics are so genius!
"I feel trapped and I wanna go out. But I know it won't end well, the outside-world'll hit me so hard and I wanna go back inside my horrible, save prison that'll kill me slowly." - I can relate to that so well!
And the end hits me even harder: "come out with your hands up, we got you surrounded" - All he ever wanted, to go out, but is forced, is dragged out by them (Society? Friends/Family? Audience? by himself?), outside to this horrible, crucial world, naked and defensless with all eyes on him...
YES thank you for uploading this
Spent the last 6+ years of my life in bed due to sudden, intense chronic illness(es) that left me disabled with persistent harrowing pain and widespread muscle atrophy. Can hardly walk anymore.
And wouldn’t you know, around year 5 of this, I finally started making some headway on my own. I really did! This coming after finally accepting that my physicians wouldn’t do anything more for me because they couldn’t agree on any singular all-inclusive diagnosis (and presumably feared any future malpractice suits).
Begged for at least a physical therapy referral around December of 2019. Finally got it. I would get up, get dressed, and go see my physical therapist twice a week. This was massive for me. Physically, but also emotionally. I was slowly, but finally, getting back into the world, after half a decade of isolation.
Then, the _funniest thing_ happened.
🎶 Well, well. Guess who’s -inside- in bed again. 🎶
It's so dumb that the slowdown part isn't included in the original release. It just works so perfectly.
this is “look who’s inside again” and the ending to “goodbye” but still good
I hope this gets on spotify
The look who's inside again part, you can't tell me its not about my neighbor's cat who kept sneaking in my house.
LOVE the reprise!!!!
It could have been an excellent edit. They added the end of the song "Goodbye" at the end, but the first bit was messed with. It skips to the "Well, well, look who's inside again" bit without him saying he was stuck in his room as a kid. It then plays to the end of that bit, then goes back to the skipped segment when he said he was a kid in his room and plays to the end.
I'm a crazy person.
somehow the tune i so sad and so happy at the same time
This is me. Grew up introverted. Started being outgoing as a I got older but got hurt so bad by ppl... now back inside again on my own and cut off everyone
Well well, look who's inside again.
totally relatable, thanks for sharying😘
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time help
for some reason, this song gave me more of a voice, and this song helps me deal with stress of my mom calling me a girl cuz she thinks im confused, but im so sure of who i am
Hell yeah... Do you know there is a link between being neurodivergent and being gender divergent? I am both... This song more literally describes the neurodivergent part, but in doing so it also eerily reflects my experience as a genderfluid trans man... beautiful and empowering song for speaking who we have always been
I swear this song is hazardous to my health
Oh my God. Amazing words spoken like he lived them before. Masterful creation of a song.
Never delete this
This song brings me peace of mind🖤
This song feels like a hug
my childhood, teenage and adult life
This is a genuinely sad song dude, I don't have much insecurities but fuck it makes it seem like I have anxiety or something
I find it funny that people talk about the pandemic here and I'm just thinking about the times that I refused to leave the house for weeks, months, one time over a year...
It never really seems like it's that bad, until someone reminds me that it is.
I'm just a traumatized ex-child, who pretended to be someone he's not for two decades, before he just snapped and developed an anxiety disorder so potent it kept me inside for 15 months.
by now, I take walks at least every few days, but I'm still sick and have a long way to go...
This song feels like that part of me that is scared I'll do it again, every time I feel like it's going nowhere...
It's horrible. I love it.
